Names -> Cool Band Names -> G, Page 3

Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.

I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.

Submitted by:
Good Blunts It is a good name for a band, especially if most of the members smoke buds. I came up with the name after the phrase "good times" had been overused around my school and area. So instead of saying "good times" we say "good blunts." Mickey
Good Charleston Charleston is where I live and my best friend is a HUGE fan of Good Charlotte (Billy is hers). Ezra
Good Chocky Almond My German teacher did a spoof of Andy Griffith's Ritz Cracker ad with an almond chocolate bar. Opie M.
good chocolate i was listening to music with my friends in school and the teacher asked us what we were listening to and we told her good charlotte. then at the end of class she said something like "so did you have fun listening to good chocolate" i thought that would be cool because chocolate is good. anonymous dork
Good Foot Dance Clinic A James Brown tribute band, since he sand "Get On The Good Foot", and he'd always had happy feet. Odie Garfield

The Good Go Wicked I thought of it in the shower haha Sean
Good Head My former band. If people made a comment about the name, I'd say to them in a snotty tone of voice, "He's got a good head on his shoulders. What were YOU thinking?" Rachel Amiranth
Good In The Sack They are actually a band out of Austin. I thought it would be cool to introduce the bank as "Hi, we're Good in the Sack." A-Lex
Good Luck With The Apocalypse Its from the movie Bruce Almighty. G
A Good Name For A Band A Swedish punk band calls themselves "A Good Name For A Band", which doesn't need any explanation. It's just an awesome name for a band!  Joe
Good Question Why is it cool? Leme give you some imagery: You're in a packed club and a band is playing onstage..youve missed their name..so you ask the person beside you, screaming over the ear abusing music, 'What's this band called?' he, hearing your question, nods and shouts back, 'Good Question!' it could be BEAUTIFUL man...just don't knock it till ya try it. Murray
Good Riddence Simon Ok, so here the story. So today when i was on this cite, I heard all this silverware clattering and thought “Charlie” because he loves to screw with the dishwasher. Sure enough, I come in to find the bloody, scarred remaints of the dishwasher’s contents. Just as I start to pick up that mess, I hear this “gaak. Gak. Gaaakklle. Gkdlselallaakkk. Smack smack.” so I look beside me just in time to find Zero, my adorable puppy,(named after Jack Skellington's dog in The Nightmare Before Christmas.) inhaling an unknown red thing. So when I run towards him to shove my hand down this throat (literally) and save his stupid doggy life, he sees me coming and tries to get it down his throat faster than ever, as if it’s a life or death situation and he just has to get it into his stomach or else immediate death, spontanious combustion, and the end of the world. So after shoving my hand into his slimy esophigus and pulling out a balloon covered with slimy I-don’t-want-to-know-what, I see simon, another brother who's 6, beside me, with about 50 ballons in his fist just watching the whole thing. God. You’d think that if you were 2 feet away watching your dumb but adorable puppy eat itself to a shallow grave you'd want grab it from him. Grr. So after screaming at simon, my mom and dad and sister grace and other sister claire come to see who's being murdured (and yes, I used a lot of “ands”) so then they scream at me and simon and each other, and there's just a lot of confused screaming until simon runs upstairs sobbing dramatically to his room and I say “Good riddence, Simon.” Inspiration hits and I come into the living room to type this long involved paragraph. Just think about the name tho. It’s a good name. LN awesome
The Good Things I love Fall Out Boy and their song "My Heart is the Worst Kind of weapon". In that song it says "you wouldn't know a good thing if it came up and slit your throat." yup. Thats my reason. Bob
Good With Waffles Can you picture a frontman screaming "Thanks for coming! Goodnight, we're Good With Waffles!"? It'd be awesome! I came up with it as a joke when my band was discussing names. Mac Willaert
Goodie Poets My friend and I always go over to this chicks house and they're always saying how good we are. That we never get into trouble and such. Anyways, my boy said yeah, we the goodie mob. But since that name was taken by a rap group we changed it to the Goodie Poets.  Rebel With A Cause

Grandma Swears > Me Not to be redundant, but COME ON! How weird would it be if the members of the band had grandmothers that swore more than them? This was inspired by my backwards life. The part I'm talking about is the fact that my brother scoulds my grandmother for swearing, not the other way around. How weird is that? 300 Bernard St. Girl
Grandmas in Spandex Whenever I come across something I find disturbing, I try to get it out of my head by thinking of something I find even more disturbing...but kind of funny too.

Gravity, Love, Empathy, And Fascism Recently I was trying to google some word (I've forgotten what word), and the way lines of hits come up below the word you've entered even before you've clicked on search, four "suggested" phrases came up, so displayed. Each phrase was formed from pairing my entered word with another word, and the four words paired with the word I had entered were gravity, love, empathy and fascism. I have no idea why those "suggestions" popped up; I don't remember ever entering any of the four phrases at any time since I've had the computer. What a random array of words, I thought. Then I suddenly realized -- a "cool"band name might be formed from that random list! D. Melody Dole, MD
The Grease Monkeys Another name for a mechainc, also works as a play on The Monkees. Henry

The Great Billy Boydson Murder  jacksonu4ia
Great Circle This just would look cool on a set of drums. It was some math term that my teacher told me, and my friend Thomas said "Y'know, that'd be a pretty cool band name." So, credit goes to him. Jericho
Great Expectations We're starting a band-ish thing and trying to think of a name. I was looking at my book shelf and saw the book (by Charles Dickens) and it stuck. Nobody else liked it though. blah
Great Gays Yeah.... Trollover
Great Gobs Of Goose Grease This was the exclamation my grade school teacher made whenever she was aghast. Like the time she told me to throw away my "gum" and she discovered I was chewing a wad of paper from my folder. kid

Green Stomach Monkey This actually came from a David Letterman show where he had three dice. Each having different words on them. He would roll them and put the words together to make a name for a band. This was the only one I remember from years ago.  Rocky
The Green Street Hooligans I took it from the title of an Elijah Wood movie (that flopped). I think it sounds like a band that would play "alt rock" music. Edward
Green Toenail Spilled guacamole on my foot. Didn"t wipe it off and grossed out friends an hour later, who thought it was infected.  Mat
Greene Because I like it and it's spelled as some one's name and not the color. Even though some people do have the last name Green as well. I think it works as a good anouncement, like " Ladies & Gentalmen here is... GREENE!" Joe Hobeaux
Greenfloor Actually i think this sounds better. You know the opposite of it? I don't think anyone knows. Someone here?
greethoeven my dog's name is greta but we call her all kinds of things like greethoeven (like ludwig van beethoven the composer), hooten-hoeten, etc. sounds like a great band name, especially if you are dutch. queen of the harpies
